Psychoeducation in Parents of Children With ADHD

The parents of each child were educated as couples and each training session lasted 45-60 minutes for each family. Approximately the first five minutes of the training were used for warm-up, 25 minutes were used for basic ADHD knowledge and the last 15 minutes were catechetic and conducted interactively. The psychoeducation included discussion about the causes, symptoms and signs of ADHD, the course and characteristics of the disease according to age, the treatment process, the drugs used in the treatment and their side effects, correct and incorrect information about drugs, the other symptoms which can coexist with ADHD and their treatment, and what the parents can do about these issues.
